IMMERSOGRAPHY: THE ART OF CREATING NARRATIVE VIRTUAL REALITIES
I’m starting a new research project called Immersography. This project arises from the need to have a specific term to refer to the art and practice of creating narrative immersive and interactive experiences for immersive media. The development of this research project will take place during my residency at Schloss Solitude Akademie in Stuttgart, Germany.
Under this term, I will approach the creation of narrative virtual realities from an art practice point of view, comprising the conceptualization stage, design and technological features. The term locates the sense of immersion as etymological root for this type of grahia or writing. The aim of this research is unify terms, concepts and processes developed in the past few years of research in interactive digital narratives in immersive media.
The work has been published on the Notebook of Colombian cinema Nº31 “Cinematic Experiences” in spanish language. Edited by Felipe César Londoño.
“If the art of cinema consists in “everything that plastics and montage can add to a given reality” (Bazin, 2004: 26), the art of VR consists in the reality that human perception and computers can build together”
